There has been no rivalry for years be-
tween this paper and the other dailies,
and there can be none until they pro-
duce better newspapers in every respect
than the BEE.
In the very brief period since the
change has taken place in the ownership
of the Republican, that paper has utterly
failed to meet the promises held out to
the public. AS newspaper it has
proved itself no better than it was under
the old management. With that failure,
we have, however, no concern.
We only have to deal in this article
with the man who is reputed to be its re-
sponsible editor. MIR. Rothacker came
to Omaha with reputation as an able
and brilliant writer, and we supposed
him to be man of honor and high re-
spectability. AS such he was treated
until he gave himself away by his own
conduct. We always judge man by
the company he keeps, and
the company Mr.. Rothacker has kept
in the Lincoln lobby has not been very
choice or reputable. Inspired by an in
sane notion that his advent in Nebraska
was to rcvolutionize our entire political
system, the Republican editor sought to
force his way to the front in a coalition
with elements and men who have made
Nebraska politics almost a national dis
grace and stencil in the nostrils of the
people. The outcome has only been dis
astrous to his paper and to his own in
nucnce. His bold and reckless misrepre-
sentations of the charter and its contents
have very naturally compelled us to han
die him and his confederates without kid
gloves. He boasted openly last week in
our streets that he and Morrissey and the
contractors had tied up with the railroads
to "do up'' Rosewater in the legislature
Is this the language of high toned jour
nalist who Processes to advocate pnrer
government? Would an honorable man
| join hands with the enemies of good gov
ernment out of pure personal ambition
to be recognized as great leader? Does
| it become man who has not yet become
| a voter of Omaha to force his Ill digestcd
and snap judgment views upon the fun
| damental laws of this city?
| But most remarkable of all Is the
attempt of this comparative stranger in
| NGDTdSha 10 lnlIOuuCc thc SoSic
Omaha Coming from Kentucky he
imagines that he can only gain public re-
spect by challenging some editor to
mortal combat. Such high strung
"honah" will no longer pass for bravery
at the 'Confed X Roads" Manhood and
bravery are not guaged in this section by
the standard of the bravo. The man OF
courage stands up for his convictions
and advocates the right against all odds.
Pistols and coffee for two have long ago
passed out of date among men of real
honor. Once for all we say to the roar
ing swashbuckler, that the BEE will con-
duct its columns fearlessly hereafter as
before. Its local contemporaries may
combine IN the future, as they have in the
past, to bravely heap up mountains OF
SANDER and abuse on one man and then
squirm and squeal when their brutal
course is resented in plain language.
these men want notoriety or fame LET then,

fort and enterprise

How the German Elections Will Ar
feet the Vatican.
[COpiFight 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.
ROME, Feb. 23.-GNew York Herald
Cable-Speclal to the BEE. THE result Of
the German elections is now known and the
vatican-barring the sadness caused by the
illness OF Cardinal Jacobini-is jubilant.
Yet the politicians see less In the losses suf-
fercd by the center party than was expected
after the yatcan's interference In favor OF
Prince Bismarck. In Roman diplomatic cir
Giles the danger of a conflict in the east is be-
lieved to be as great as ever and there is lit
tie doubt that IN the event of general war
Italy will follow the lead Of the central pow.
ers and of England.
IN CASE OF DEFEAT.
From a singularly well-informed source
learned that Prince Bismarck was quite pre-
pared to dissolve the reichstag once, twice
or even thrice, though he might have waited
little before having resOurse to the first
dissolution. II the third dissolution did not
give him working majority he would have
gone at all lengths, so my informant assures
me, and war with France would then have
been certain.
THE TEMPORAL. POWER.
Recent discussions as to the possibility OF
an eventual restoration of the temporal
power have caused much interest among
Italians. II is regarded even at the vatican
rs dream. But is there no middle course
which would serve as a basis of reconcilia-
tion between the vatican and the quirinal?
Most people would answer mo" Yet there
are sanguine folks here who fancy such a
basis might be found.
PLAN OF REcoNCILATIoN.
A scheme of reconciliation is being much
talked about just now at the vatican. which
l would have reason to believe would be con
sdered by the holy see. The chief clause
would be the restitution to the pope of all
the Roman area on the right bank OF the
Tiber, including ST. Peters and the castle OF
st. Angelo, with a narrow strip OF land ex-
tending from Rome to Ciyieta Vecchia. To
avoid woundins Italian sentiment the cessa-
ton might be disguised as a sale of the accu
inflated subsidies annually voted for the
pope under the law of Gasortees but never
accepted by his holiness. The general out
line of this plan is not entirely new. II has
been advocated by many prominent eccles-
seastics, among others, If am not mistaken,
Mgr Capel. Rome would still in sense re-
main the Italian capital, while in case OF
foreign complications the pope could be as
sured the full communication with the outer
world. which. according TO the ygtIcaD, might
any moment be made impossible.

And hugged the happiness he could not keep
Or kissed an ideal ne could never set
In place of waking facts? Thus, from the

And toll of life we enter, wandering deep
Through the long corridors, where dreams

Our souls with gladness vile us to forget
That they are Dreams Here in the sleeping

TO touch some wel!-remembcred form of

And speak the words we should have spoke
